Jaenada was a candidate for the Goya Awards in 2004 as best actor for his role in this production but couldn't attend the ceremony as he was in Argentina filming El juego de la verdad.

Just as Jaenada was beginning to feel pigeonholed as a comedian, Jaime Chávarri sent him a script for a film about the life of flamenco singer Camarón de la Isla.

[citation needed] Also in 2006, Jaenada served as master of ceremonies with Candela Peña at the inaugural gala of the Málaga Film Festival.

In 2011, Jaenada obtained a role in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, where he played "the Spaniard", King Ferdinand's most trusted agent and an officer of the Spanish Royal Navy.

[citation needed] In April 2017, he was sentenced to six months in prison for falsifying the official title of recreational boat skipper in a nautical school.
